Engraving, Hollstein 58 ii/iv, The Illustrated Bartsch 60 iv/vi, LeBlanc 27, Wurzbach 39, 339 x 245 mm. A fine impression still with Hoefnagel's monogram, earlier and better than the Milan impression shown in The Illustrated Bartsch, on laid paper trimmed just outside the borderline and with the full text below; a few tiny surface damages and a repaired tear through the date. The print is thought to be an adaptation of an earlier engraving by Martin Rota; it is in the same direction as Rota's and lacks many of the accoutrements of that print. There is no mention of the scene -- angels supporting the body of Christ in the tomb -- in scripture or in The Golden Legend, yet the subject occasionally appears, in one variant or another, in Renaissance art. The written source remains elusive.
